Tower Development Trust Information Session (New Syndicated Offering)
Tower Development Trust, Starlight Capital’s new syndicated offering, will fund the development of new cell towers in the U.S. This industry sits between the telecom firms that require larger more efficient communications networks and the Tower REITs that are aggregators of the completed towers. Tower Development Trust will allow Canadian accredited investors to benefit from the strong cash flow growth generated by completed cell towers with a trusted partner with an enviable 20-year track record of strong development returns.
